Miscellaneous ramblings of a web developer called David Parkinson. I work full time as a web developer but have interests in other things.
Before i started this blog i was visiting a lot of other blogs, several times a day. These other blogs include John Chow, ProBlogger and Shoemoney.
I still visit them, but it’s every few days now. I visit smaller blogs on a daily basis including Smemon. I’ve no idea why i don’t visit these massive blogs anymore. Is it because i know everything? Do i have enough time to visit them while updating my own blog and thinking about the future?
I should visit them everyday because they all offer some great advice and have helped me solve problems i once had before. If i hadn’t had started this blog, i probably be reading someone elses blog right now, and at the same time, thinking about whether i should start my own blog. I’m so glad i pushed myself to start my own blog because it’s super fun and addictive!
The one reason what blogging put me off was time. I mentioned this before and i can now say it’s not as bad as i thought. If your stuck between a question on whether you should start a blog or not, i think you should push yourself to start and see exactly what it’s like.
During the week i will talk about how i got into blogging, who inspired me, advantages and disadvantages of blogging and more.
yeah i have to admit i don’t visit the big blogs anymore, and judging by their alexa rank, we’re not the only ones
i think it’s the over use of ads which has ultimately eroded our interest over a long period of time… that’s how i feel about johnchow.com anyway.
Yeah, i have to agree with you there, i’m not so keen on John Chows top bar advert thing.
